the main problem seems to be helicopter gun ships. For those, a simple rpg solution usually works best,
No, a RPG is an extremely difficult weapon to use against a helicopter - it was designed for the anti-tank role and needs to hit something hard to detonate.
It took lots of tries and some clever modifications for the Somali's to use RPG's against the American helicopters (I know, we're not supposed to admit that our "enemies" are clever, maybe that's why we have so much trouble beating them?).
So your argument is that if someone steals my wallet, and I have a chance to get the same amount of money back from the thief via perfectly legal means, I have received stolen goods?
But did Rand think social security was legal? Moral?
Lenin claimed the capitalists would sell him the rope to hang them. How did Rand think receiving money to pay for the treatment her self induced cancer was going to bring about the downfall of the freeloaders?
a reasonable model where great income inequality corresponds to countries with poor legal and economic infrastructure which leads to lots of poor people.
Bottled water? This is slashdot. use a car analogy of be ignored.
There is no "observed fact" to contradict my remark. You are claiming that a wealthier person can have worst health care solely because there is greater income inequality in their society. That does not make sense, much less be something observed in society.
Make scatter plot of income inequality vs various healthcare outcomes. Notice that there is a nice line. End of story. (Yes, yes, correlation does not prove causation. Propose another cause.)
You're getting the problem exactly ass backwards. Inequality is the problem. Psychological and sociological studies show that unequal distribution of resources is seen by most people as worse than lack of resources.
Perception doesn't equal reality.
Since we're talking about people's behavior her perception is reality.
In your example the people of country A, (who, I assume, you mean have 1 gold piece each, not 100) would be happier than the 99 people of country B with 2 gold pieces each. Crime in country A would probably be lower, health outcomes would tend to be better.
Does not follow. Just because someone is perceived as having more money doesn't mean that health outcomes would tend to be worse.
You're arguing against observed fact on theoretical grounds.
Telenet and Tymnnet were networks based on the protocols (X.25) designed by European state telecoms monopolies.
They failed in comparison with the internet because the protocols were crap. (Take my word for it - I've used, programmed for and implemented X.25. (I just disconnected my last X.25 line, after 28 years of continuous operation. What a relief)).

Exactly, why trust any phone hardware? Too much unknown in the drivers/custom firmware and serials linking coms to your device and location within 1km.
He's got a N900. Do you think 'they' have hidden something in the OpenGL drivers? Or the battery driver? Most of the rest of it is open source.
Slashdot Mirror
Give us fucking SAS already.
The parent said 50w gu-10 micro spotlight. a 4w LED makes a perfect replacement for that.
Just point 'em at the ceiling if you want to light the room.
This.
Why the fuck do they have to make a new phone each time?
Why not one hone that can run Symbian, Maemo, Meego and WP7?
Let the user choose the os.
And children.
(And it probably wasn't Ghadafi that bombed the disco).

WTF? The BBC is a corrupt pusillanimous shade of its former self, destroyed by Tony Blair.
All that remains is the BBC in exile, aka Al-Jazeera.

Taxation is theft.
Ayn Rand received stolen goods.
Lenin claimed the capitalists would sell him the rope to hang them. How did Rand think receiving money to pay for the treatment her self induced cancer was going to bring about the downfall of the freeloaders?
Is Goldman Sachs involved?
Yes.
Better pictures on the Playboy story that the Slashdot one.
Look, it's simple. "Al" Queada. "Al" Jazeera..
Can you deny the link?
Stoopid eggheads, never could see the wood for the trees.
Oh dear, you were doing so well until this:
Fuck off and die.
Well, there's your problem right there. Al-Q is not a big, determined, ruthless threat, it's a bunch of petulant losers.
Yeah, we could call it MeeGo. Or Maemo if you prefer.
What part of it would be Android? Oh, I know, the tokenised dead mice.
Hello? Is there an echo in here?
The USA?

You are a fruitcake.

Hey, thats neat.
I can probably put Maemo on that phone.
And weird people out with a Nexus 1 running Maemo and a N900 running Android.

So the goal would be to make it look like a normal phone with nothing unusual or interesting on it.
He's fucked. The N900 is not 'a normal phone' and it only has interesting and unusual stuff.
